REVIEW OF GAY MALE/MALE ROMANCE NOVEL BY RICHARD S. RAINES

Now, here's a book, albeit for younger readers, that is well written, by a gay man, and about a young stuffy Brit who is a book translator in France learning some gay lessons.

 A 2-3 sentence summary of what you consider the book's strong points:
A well crafted tale of a sexy young Englishman (a "novel translator") temporarily living in Marseilles where his time is to be devoted to translating a "Best Seller" into French. While he lives in a rather liberal neighborhood and meets several men with whom he has trysts, even a petulant young "English student" French adolescent, there is a more special meeting and love making with a mysterious stranger who is slowly revealed throughout the tale. Multiple suspenseful subplots involving numerous hot guys weave heatedly together creating a fun and stirring M/M romance.
    This is a "hot" story and it is elegantly told.  I find the language used by the author to be enticing, elegant, and concise and clear.  It is English usage in it's best form, and for example the terms "kiss" ordinarily would be used to describe a single kiss but Richard S. Raines can describe a kiss in specific ways that stir deep emotions and drives in the reader.  Likewise, steering clear of vulgarities and trite phrases usually used to describe sex scenes, he can turn a "snuggled his nose in my underwear" into the introduction of a passionate exchange, all the time upholding a standard of freshness, wholesomeness, and excitement.  Oh, there is forbidden sex, but it it told in a way that allows the reader to see how it fits into the fabric of the story.
    This story has a fabric!  It's structure is so meticulously designed as to mesmerize the reader with the going and coming in an orderly fashion of themes and subplots.  A sort of rhythm is established that is enjoyable and relaxing, while erotically stimulating.  It is a book you can read quickly, also.  I highly recommend it for a single day read!   Five stars.
